The problem is the plurality of methods which makes it in practice even more complicated, less transparent and comparable. This is in particular true for the situation in Germany, where, however a slight preference for biotope valuation procedures can be noted. From your experience, could you specify a preferable methodology or should this be case specific in your opinion?

I would add another important point and that is having scientifically based methodologies for measuring gains and losses is also important in ensuring that sound conservation outcomes are achieved.
